The Mindful Enterprise C.I.C

What The Mindful Enterprise C.I.C does

The Mindful Enterprise C.I.C is a Scotland-based Community Interest Company (CIC) founded in 2016 by Gary Young, delivering mindfulness-based wellbeing training across four pillars: Workplace Wellbeing (corporate programs including introductory sessions, 6- and 8-week courses, and The Empowered Team), Individual Health (the 8-week Mindfulness Based Living Course, the Embodied Practitioner follow-on course, retreats, Mind Gym subscription, and 1-1 coaching), Mindfulness in Education (whole-school programs for students years 7-18, teacher training, and parent sessions), and Mindful Communities (subsidised outreach funded by profit recycling). Its underlying 'technology' is content and methodology rather than software: accredited curricula drawing on MBSR, MBCT, MBLC, MISP, and Youth Mindfulness frameworks, delivered through Zoom-based online sessions, Vimeo-hosted pre-recorded video (SuperMinds), and in-person at three Scottish venues in Edinburgh, Dalkeith, and Galloway. The business model mixes one-time course fees (e.g., MBLC at £270, Embodied Practitioner at £310, SuperMinds at £39.95), tiered retreat pricing (£73-£469), corporate professional-services contracts, gift vouchers, and an early-stage subscription product (Mind Gym). The CIC asset lock legally constrains distributions and frames the company as a social enterprise, with profits earmarked to subsidise disadvantaged-community access, which functions as the core brand and positioning differentiator versus for-profit mindfulness providers.

Direct peers

• MyPossibleSelf: UK-based mental wellbeing app and workplace platform offering structured modules on anxiety, stress, and resilience. Comparable because it directly competes in the corporate wellbeing segment TME serves and offers curriculum-style content for individual mental health.
• The Workplace Mindfulness Company: UK B2B mindfulness training provider delivering workplace programmes, courses, and teacher training. Comparable as a directly competing UK corporate mindfulness specialist targeting the same workplace buyer as The Mindful Enterprise's Workplace Wellbeing pillar.
• Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP): UK-based charity offering the .b and Paws b curricula for school students plus teacher training. Comparable because The Mindful Enterprise is accredited through MiSP and operates the same teacher-training-led model for school mindfulness programmes.
• Mindful Schools (US): Non-profit organisation that trains educators and brings mindfulness to K-12 classrooms. Comparable because it operates in the same school-based mindfulness vertical with teacher training and student programmes, paralleling The Mindful Enterprise's "whole school approach."

Emerging players

• Smiling Mind: Australian non-profit mindfulness app/program for adults and children, including school and workplace offerings. Comparable as a multi-segment mindfulness provider spanning education and consumers with structured curricula, similar to TME's MBLC and SuperMinds offerings.
• Plumm (formerly Plum): UK workplace mental wellbeing platform combining therapy, coaching, and digital content for employees. Comparable as an adjacent corporate wellbeing competitor that increasingly overlaps with TME's B2B mindfulness training offering.

Broad incumbents

• Calm: Major consumer meditation and sleep app with Calm Business for employers. Comparable as a direct competitor for individual mindfulness practice and corporate wellbeing contracts, though anchored in a digital subscription model rather than in-person courses and retreats.
• Headspace Health: Leading global meditation and mindfulness app with consumer subscription and B2B offerings (Headspace for Work, Headspace for Education). Comparable because it addresses the same individual, workplace, and education segments The Mindful Enterprise serves, but at significantly larger scale and with a digital-first model.
